Jean was born in Center, Texas, on January 15, 1932, to Patrick Davis Jr. and Inez Childs-Davis. She was a manager at Sears in Beaumont and Port Arthur until her retirement in 1985.

She was a great card and domino player as well. But her most favorite thing was to host Thanksgiving each year for her large extended family.

She was preceded in death by her first husband, James Perkins; and granddaughter, Katya Boyle.

She is survived by her husband of fifteen years, Daniel Lonadier of Groves, TX; two daughters, Pam Boyle and husband Dan of Tyler, TX; Cindy Perio and husband Don of Mandeville, LA; son Terry Perkins and wife Dixie of Groves, TX; eight grandchildren; and fourteen great-grandchildren.

The family would like to recognize her hospice nurse Caroline Blanding and her special caregivers Trinette Rose, Delores Yeggins, Rhonda Ford, and Cora Wooten for their kindness, love, and tender care.
